Death Stranding 2’s PC Release Seems to Be Near, as Port Receives Official Rating

It’s no secret that Death Stranding 2 is coming to PC, even if it hasn’t officially been announced yet by Kojima Productions. Still, seeing the first game did eventually make its way over, the news of a PC version happening for the sequel should come as no surprise.

It’s not really a matter of if, but a matter of when, and it looks like it might be happening real soon, as the PC version has received an official ESRB rating.

Death Stranding 2 PC Version Is All But Confirmed

Death Stranding fans who have been holding out for the PC version of Death Stranding 2, we have some good news for you, as the ESRB has officially rated Death Stranding 2 for PC. Now, there’s nothing new about the rating itself in terms of the content of what the PS5 version had, but the rating does at least confirm that the PC version is coming, as typically the ESRB doesn’t issue a rating for non-existent games. There is one interesting tidbit: it looks like Sony is publishing this release, whereas the original Death Stranding was outsourced to 505 Games.

As for when it’s coming? Well, that’s anyone’s guess, but with The Game Awards happening soon, we’re fully expecting the announcement to be made there. Whether or not Kojima Productions is showing anything else off, specifically OD or Physint, that’s anyone’s guess.

Death Stranding 2: On the Beach was previously released as a PS5 exclusive this past June. With the PC version all but confirmed, we’re expecting it to be released likely around the same time next year, if not earlier. Expect plenty of PC-specific features to arrive with the new release.
